Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Efficacy and safety of nabiximols cannabinoid medicine for paediatric spasticity in cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injury: A randomized controlled trial

WHOM are you going to ask about this working for stroke spasticity? There is NO STROKE LEADER IN THE WORLD willing to talk to or take questions from survivors. Stroke associations don't give a shit about survivors, they are only there as pity pots to generate donations.  

I don't care that this was a failure in this instance, there is this:

This has been out there for years;
Nabiximols is an oromucosal spray formulated in a 1:1 ratio of tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol and approved in several countries for treatment-resistant spasticity in patients with MS. It also works for motor neuron disease spasticity. (How fucking incompetent is your doctor in not using it?)

Do your prefer your incompetence NOT KNOWING? OR NOT DOING? OR BOTH?

Just maybe you want to get your doctor educated by reading these posts:

 

 

Efficacy and safety of nabiximols cannabinoid medicine for paediatric spasticity in cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injury: A randomized controlled trial
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology — Fairhurst C, Kumar R, Checketts D, et al. | April 30, 2020

Researchers conducted this multicentre, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of oromucosal nabiximols cannabinoid medicine as adjunct therapy for children with spasticity due to cerebral palsy/traumatic central nervous system injury with inadequate response to existing treatment. In total, 72 individuals (mean [SD] age 12y 4mo [3y 1mo], range 8‒18y) were randomized at a ratio of 2:1 to receive nabiximols (n = 47; 29 males, 18 females) or placebo (n = 25; 15 males, 10 females) for 12 weeks (12 sprays/day max. based on clinical response/tolerability). Paediatric patients usually respond well to oromucosal nabiximols. Three cases of hallucinations, one of which involved auditory hallucinations and a suicide attempt, were however observed.  Oromucosal nabiximols compared with placebo did not minimize cerebral palsy/central nervous system injury‐related spasticity.
